Common fraud maneuvers in detail

1. Phishing

How it works: Fraudsters send e-mails or messages that appear to come from reputable companies and request account or password information.
How to recognize it: Watch out for impersonal salutations, suspicious sender addresses and links that lead to fake pages.
How to protect yourself: Do not click on any unknown links and do not disclose any information.

2. Fake-Shops

How it works: Fake online shops offer products at extremely low prices, but either don't deliver or deliver inferior goods.
How to recognize them: Typical warning signs include missing legal disclosure information, only cryptocurrency payments, and unrealistic offers.
How to protect yourself: Research reviews and use secure payment methods before buying.

3. Cryptocurrency fraud

How it works: Fraudsters promise high profits from investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies. Often, these are pyramid schemes or platforms that disappear after the deposit.
How to recognize: Excessive promises and pressure to invest immediately indicate fraud.
Protection: Invest only through reputable providers and inform yourself thoroughly in advance.
